This looks like a known issue on some Macs. See "Surface With Edges" rendering goes wild when viewing multidimensional meshes and https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/issues/20206. I get it sometimes on my Mac, too.
The weird graphics are well reported. I haven’t heard about the crash, but I was able to replicate that on my Mac as well. I only got the crash if I was in Surface with Mesh mode. If I put it back in Surface mode, I did not see an issue. I expect the two issues are related.
